Current Summary for SE MI

  • The current best fit across all model simulations for Southeast Michigan gives a forecast of:
    • April 23, 2020 (1 week): roughly 26510 cumulative laboratory-confirmed cases
    • May 7, 2020 (3 weeks): roughly 28500 cumulative laboratory-confirmed cases
  • The current best fit across model simulations projects:
    • April 23, 2020 (1 week): roughly 1800 hospitalized patients (beds needed) with roughly 510 in ICU
    • May 7, 2020 (3 weeks): roughly 900 hospitalized patients (beds needed) with roughly 250 in ICU

Note that the model is a work in progress and being updated as the epidemic progresses. Because we are still making improvements and including new data in the model, these results are highly preliminary and uncertain. The forecasts shown here also do not account for the ongoing changes in social distancing.
